Rashard Lewis is hoping to return to the NBA next season.

He's famous for being one of the worst max-contract players in NBA history and has failed to score at least 8.0 points per game in any year since the 2010-11 season. Lewis did not play at all last season due to a knee injury. Jun 29 - 5:06 PM

Mavericks president Donnie Nelson said that Dallas may consider signing Rashard Lewis after his knee surgery.

Lewis' one-year, $1.4 million deal with the Mavs was rescinded after a physical revealed the need for surgery. The severity of his injury is unclear, which may be part of the reason for Nelson's hesitation, so hopefully Lewis will receive an optimistic prognosis after he goes under the knife.

Updating a previous report, the Mavericks have voided Rashard Lewis' contract after learning that he will require knee surgery.

"It came to our attention during Rashard Lewis' physical that he is in need of a medical procedure on his right knee," said Mavs president Donnie Nelson. Lewis' agent didn't give any details about the nature or severity of the injury, so it's unclear when he might be healthy enough to resume basketball activities. His departure will likely cause the Mavericks to look elsewhere for another forward with shooting range. Wed, Jul 23, 2014 12:52:00 PM

The Mavericks may nullify their recent contract agreement with Rashard Lewis after a physical revealed the need for knee surgery.

Lewis already signed his contract, according to Mavericks radio announcer Chuck Cooperstein, which seems odd if he didn't pass his team physical. It shouldn't take long for more details of the situation to emerge -- with luck the 34-year-old Lewis won't require major surgery, and will be ready to play for the Mavs (or another team) on opening night.

As part of Mark Cuban's pitch to Wesley Matthews during free agency, Cuban told Matthews that he wanted him to be a cornerstone piece for the franchise.

"One of the first things he said to me was he wanted me to be a cornerstone piece of that franchise moving forward," Matthews said. "I told Cuban this the other day: This is the first time, head-to-toe, that an organization has had faith and confidence in me. From coaches, to GM to owner — complete confidence. That's all I wanted. That's all I wanted." It's clear that the Mavericks view Matthews highly, and it definitely was interesting to learn that the Blazers never even attempted to re-sign him. Matthews is hoping to be ready for training camp, but his Achilles injury will make him a risky selection on draft day.

Chandler Parsons (knee) will be attending Team USA's minicamp in Vegas, but he will not be participating.

He will be joining Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant and Kevin Love on the sidelines, as he is still recovering from knee surgery. Parsons will have a much larger role in the Dallas offense with Rajon Rondo and Monta Ellis out of town, so he should be a solid mid-round pick in fantasy drafts this season. Parsons' knee should be good to go for the start of the season, although Dallas has been quiet on their end regarding his status.
